DDR Termination Regulator
LEVEL SHIFTING
TJ2997
If standards other than SSTL-2 are required, such as SSTL-3, it may be necessary to use a different
scaling factor than 0.5 times V
DDQ
for regulating the output voltage. Several options are available to
scale the output to any voltage required. One method is to level shift the output by using feedback
resistors from V
TT
to the V
SENSE
pin. This has been illustrated in Figures 7 and 8. Figure 7 shows how
to use two resistors to level shift V
TT
above the internal reference voltage of V
DDQ
/ 2. To calculate the
exact voltage at V
TT
the following equation can be used
V
TT
= V
DDQ
/ 2 ( 1 + R1 / R2 )
FIGURE 7. Increasing VTT by Level Shifting
Conversely, the R2 resistor can be placed between V
SENSE
and V
DDQ
to shift the V
TT
output lower than
the internal reference voltage of V
DDQ
/ 2. The equations relating V
TT
and the resistors can be seen
below:
V
TT
= V
DDQ
/ 2 (1 - R1 / R2)

HSTL APPLICATIONS
The TJ2997 can be easily adapted for HSTL applications by connecting V
DDQ
to the 1.5V rail. This will
produce a V
TT
and V
REF
voltage of approximately 0.75V for the termination resistors. It is possible to
connect PV
IN
to higher than a 2.5V rail for higher source/sink current. Care should be taken to do not
exceed the maximum junction temperature as the thermal dissipation increases with lower V
TT
output
voltages (For more information, refer to the Thermal Dissipation section.). The advantage of this
